FWIW, After 9-11, the folks from Harris were asked to come to NYC with some black boxes. They hiked for a week over the rubble, 'dowsing' for cell phones. Each phone was pinging the nearby cell towers reporting its presence.

Like Larry said, Obama's priority missions to NASA have nothing directly to do with you know... space...just politics.

The NASA Chief:

"When I became the NASA administrator, (President Obama) charged me with three things," Bolden said in the interview which aired last week. "One, he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math; he wanted me to expand our international relationships; and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math and engineering."

The Republican Party is full of people who have too much time on their hands (witness the latest nonsense coming out of the State Assembly here). It's too bad they don't study science, but Science is hard.

Which is why NASA should stick to what its good at.

Sounds like somebodys apportion of the public goodies is being audited.

No it's not. Just shout slogans and place ideologues at the head of scientific institutions that are, after all, political institutions, and you have your science all perfect and ready for liberals to believe every word.

The case for Global warming is conjectural and weak, by weak, I mean full of gaping holes. The best arguments for it are rhetorical.

Science *is* hard. You know what else is hard? Accepting the fact that we don't know something important. That's how religions all get born. People can't accept not knowing stuff. Global Warming alarmism is one more religion.
